Using DI has become an increasingly standard practice for the well-grounded Java developer, and several popular containers provide excellent DI capabilities. But, in the not too distant past, the various DI frameworks all had differing standards for how you should configure your code to take advantage of their IoC containers. Even if the various frameworks had followed a similar configuration style (for example, XML or Java annotations) there was still the question of what the common annotations or configuration would be. The new standardized approach to DI for Java (JSR-330) solves this issue. This article discusses this standardized approach.
